Welcome to Gaia! ::

And as it be bein' busy bein' structure, I say we let it be.

Enough with the pirate talk, I made this to essentially set up frame work for the rp.

Seems we need to break it up into a Sub Forum devoted to rules and a sub forum devoted to the RP. I don't seem to be able to change/delete anything, so Nandoral, since you OBVIOUSLY have so much spare time and eagerly cater to my every whim, could you take care of it please? ^^ Sorry I've been otherwise occupied, but I'm getting this thing up and running one way or another.

I haven't had as much free time as you may think as of late since I had to take over my brothers shifts at work for a while, but he's going back tomorrow, so my time should get back to normal soon once I get caught up on rest.

A couple things. I don't think we need a crew ooc in the lod sub forum. Seeing as me you and donie are the only three active crew members, it would be pointless to have a section of it just for us to act random. It would be easier to set up a section in the crew forum itself for us to discuss things solely related to the lod rp sub forum.

We can also combine antient history and recent history into one thread. The first several posts could explain all the old stuff, and as new things occur, we can add them on in new posts. It will save us some space and keep things organized. This would also cover the story so far part.

Atlas, about the world, and maybe even recourses can all be in one thread. The atlas can be the first post, making it easy to find, and the about the world porion can be under that.

I do agree that each kingdom needs its own thread, and we also need to include death frontier and the islands, since there isn't a kingdom that rules over those areas.

NPC's and RPC's can also be combined into one thread. The NPC's can be listed first, the players (or crew) can then post RPC's under those. Profile skelly's, rules pertaining to character creation, and even the races can be included in this as well.

Rp rules need to be near the top, in an announcement and should have a thread of their own so that they can be easily found.

Kadessa and Mayfil need their own threads.

We need to include a basic overlay of the plot and storyline, which needs to be an announcement so that it's near the top.


I think that at least covers how we can organize everything so that it all fits into one sub forum.

Using the strucural outline from my last post, I set up an example version of the forum in one of the empty ones we have. This is what it looks like without any of the major information being included in the threads...

I went off the idea that you were just listing things you thought we would need to include in the forum and organized them in a way that was easy to find, understand and kept things that were related to each other in the same area.

Either way, I don't see the need to split the rp into two forums. Also, with the way you're wanting to set it up, you have the kingdoms in a seperate forum from the vilian bases, which doesn't make a lot of sense to me. I'm not saying that my idea is the better one, because it probably has its own flaws, just that the way you want to set things up seems more complicated than it needs to be.

Ok, the kingdoms in the atlis section makes sense now. I know what the purpose of villain bases are and why we need them, it just seemed like you were completely segrigating them from the rest of the rp by placing them in a different forum.

I'm noticing that there's some information that we need to include that you don't have on your list. Character creation rules, available positions, begining storyline, you didn't have any of them in your forum outline and we need those.

And there's the second version using your layout.
